“In
an age when lie predominates – the moment is an
aesthetic revolution. Or not.”
(Marianne Loop)

In
“Real Time in the Age of Lie”, video art in
its plastic and performative context is at the stage center.
“Real Time” as the point of departure for
an experimental video event, where Real-Time (live broadcasting),
Image, and the Immediate, are examined from different
angles, through a variety of art fields which make use
of the mediums of video and/or photography.

In
our present-day visual reality, crucially shaped by the
mass media, the art of video in its various manifestations
(video art, documentary video, V.J., home video, etc.)
has become a central medium for the representation and
molding of an-other reality, and for the expression of
the counter voice.
In this evening, video works that deal with documenting
and processing reality in a poetic, sculptural, conceptual,
and/or political way, offer either an alternative for
the common visual reality, or supplementing it, or hiding
it.
It is an attempt to present one moment – of the
real in time.
